Black Nationalism on the rise.

No one is going to give them a state. I wouldn't be opposed to giving them some federal land to homestead a new community on, but more likely, they'll end up buying out a handful of small, out-of-the-way towns to self segregate in.

 

the mexicans are doing the jobs whites don't want to do

la raza only fights other drug cartels or in scripted wrestling matches.

 

Have you had any personal encounters with a militant La Raza supporter?

 

all bark and no bite, most of the violence in Texas is done by black militants.

 

THE NEOLIBERAL COUNTER-REVOLUTION:

We aren't in revolution — it is a reactionary putsch. In 2016 the sort of people who had acquired position and influence as a result of globalization were forced from power for the first time in decades. In horror they watched as voters across the world chose Brexit, Donald Trump and other populist and conservative-nationalist options.

Those rejected are battering American cities from coast to coast and making waves in Europe as well. The looting, the mobs, the mass lawlessness, the zealous iconoclasm, the deranged slogans like #DefundPolice — tells us who they are.

When national institutions kneel to the mobs demands, it tell us that this is the counter-revolution of the neoliberal class — academe, media, large corporations, ‘experts’, Big Tech — against the nationalist revolution launched in 2016. The supposed insurgents and the elites are marching in the streets together, taking the knee together.

 

Meaning the only ones who actually hold such an outlook see racism in every single facet of life, and cannot possibly think otherwise. They likely see racism in traffic signals, as it includes the symbol of a white individual telling them when and where to walk. They likely see racism in the color of paper and a chalk board. They likely even see racism in the food that is eaten.

Are black still slaves in the united states to this very day?

If not then such an outlook does not apply.

 

Perhaps the black community should support removing statues and tributes to Martin Luther King since he was not perfect, as he hated homosexuals and was abusive towards female individuals. If they refuse, they are saying such practices are acceptable in this day and age.

Are the statues to idolize those individuals? Or to provide a visual reminder of what many consider to be a shameful part of the history of the united states, so such practices are not repeated?

 

Then perhaps it is all simply too much work, and those who object to the racist history of the united states should simply leave the country, and instead travel to whatever country they believe is perfect for them to live there.

 

One could argue, given the day the Star Spangled Banner was written, that it was originally a "white national anthem". Even in 1931 it's not like blacks were treated all that well and still weren't up through later 1900s.
Personally I just can't get worked up over some song that will be played week 1. Hell, I can honestly say I've never seen the anthem being sung for regular season games that I watch on tv except for the Super Bowl.

 

Maybe you should tell your right wing buddies to quit making thread after thread after thread about race then!

 

I wonder if someone could write a book on the history of slavery in America without mentioning black people? Anne Coulter might be up to the task.

 

It has never been let go, since the days of slavery the blacks in this country have always, even to this day, been treated as 2nd or lower class citizens.

If we don't stop idolizing traitors to the USA it can't be put in the rear view mirror and we can't move forward as a nation.

 

Wrong.
The ideology still exists.

Why are you against removing statues that idolize the traitors of the USA. Why are republicans against removing statues that idolize the traitors of the USA?

If we can't get rid of the idolizing of traitors to the USA that started a war to own black people, how can we ever move past it as a Nation?
We can't. That's why, 150 yrs later we still are having this discussion.
It is why there are large groups of people demanding those traitor statues be removed. Stop the idolizing. Put them in museums.

 

Redlining policy in this country gave the blacks their own private community. And then no money with which to operate said community.

Read up on the practice of Redlining if you want to find out some reasons why there was/is segregation.

 

Or at least start at the top and tell tRUMP not to make race a campaign issue.
But he knows his base will get all fired up about skin color so he's going to engage them. Wonder why the RW is so concerned about skin color? I bet many of them try to get good tans.

 

I gave you a simple answer. It's in the 2nd sentence of my 1st response.

 

I have no idea what you see racism in. And I don't care.

 

When did MLK betray the country?
What war did he lead so that he could own other people?

Why do you support those that went to war, traitors, with the USA? IMO, only traitors support traitors.

 

Agreed. But what to do about it? How do you tell if a lender is refusing to lend because of legitimate concerns about the viability of the investment or if they're refusing to lend because of racism?

 

One would have to dig into their books and look at places they loaned to. See if some pattern arises.
It's not simple task by any means.

IMO, over time, generations, if the bad practice is weaned out, the younger generations never practiced it, it can weed itself out.
But also, it needs to be ingrained into society and people's minds, that skin color isn't a factor in how people behave.

 

How did Abraham Lincoln betray the country? Why did his statue have to be torn down? What did he do that was so wrong?

Again, are the statues supposed to support such individuals? Or do the statues exist for the purpose of visually reminding the public of the racist past of the country, and shame the modern generation?

 

I don't speak for the protesters. I did not remove Lincoln nor know why they did. Sometimes bad things happen in situations where there's large public responses.

If there's a large amount of people thinking those statues exist to show the racist past, then that is what they represent.

Those people that have statues, were part of the traitor states, they fought for the group of states that wanted out of the USA so they could own black people.
That is the very definition of traitor. Remove them from public. Stop idolizing traitors.
It is also the base of racism. To want to own another group of people because you feel they are 3/5ths human, or less.
